Lessee shall permit Lessor or its designee, for each "C" check or any portion thereof, to visit and inspect the Aircraft, its condition, use and operation, and the records maintained in connection therewith, at any reasonable time without interfering with the normal commercial operation of the Aircraft, and at Lessor's cost and expense, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lessee shall provide Lessor with thirty (30) days' prior written notice of each "C" check or portion thereof. Lessor shall have no duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. Lessor's failure to object to any condition or procedure observed or observable in the course of an inspection hereunder shall not be deemed to waive or modify any of the terms of this Lease with respect to such condition or procedure.
